I have to resurrect this subject with an update. My daughter tells me that she parked her truck under an oak tree, and the next morning it was covered with black pellets, which turned out to be squirrel poo. And in two days, they turned white!

going back to poop colour, The colour of some animals poop depends on what colour there food is. for example when my snake eats a white mouse it poops white, if it eats a brown mouse it poops brown. i wonder if this is the same in humans? I once worked with an autistic kid who ate so much beetroot he peed a pinkey purple colour, or so he told us!

Thats true about the beetroot! Someone was telling me that if you eat lots of pork then your excrement will be yellowy in appearance whereas beef dishes are more likely to darken your stools. I notice curries often lead to the lightening of stools...

Neil, i feel you should conduct a live experiment for us. Tomorrow you should eat nothing but pork, the next day beef and the day after that try some dog food and we'll see where that takes us... []

Ah Shucks....I've just had my morning breaky of scrambled eggs and dog food !!....does it matter which order I conduct the experiment in ?.....but you know you can count on me....I'm the empirical one eh ?....I just wish I had a toliet cam []

You know...since this thread went into hibernation in July 2004 , I can safely say that I have yet to see another white dog poo since then or even before, that i can remember !!...I may have to resort to getting the spray paint out !

OH NO!!!!!! NOT DESIGNER DOG POOP!! Is that from an iron deficiency?? I have heard something like that I have to go try to find out!!I know the answer somwhere in the back of me closets of books,... Not in me brain!!
